I said he "should be traded before the season starts". Any "fretting" or "need" is in your head.
I think they should trade him because the alternative is that they lose him for nothing on waivers. That wouldn't be a huge loss, and there's always the chance that he passes through and they can stash him in Buffalo as depth, but I think at barely over a million dollars, someone would want him as a fourth outfielder or depth.
